We also need a RB, a TE and I hate to say it that while Kontz hasn't impressed me at all he will be given the shot to replace McClure at center if McClure retires.

Honestly I'd wish we would switch to a 3-4 base. Babs has always been to me a better 3-4 DE than a 4-3 rush DT.

Disagree with you regarding Konz. I think he has been very solid in there for someone learning and playing a new position. If he kicks back to center I think his time at Guard is only going to have elevated his play.

I would like us to get a bigger stronger DT. Someone who would allow us to run 3- 4 variations eg.

DE DE/DT NT DE

Nose over weak side Guard and Center leaving back side end with a 1on 1 or having to beat a chip and then 1on1 on the blindside. Strong side DE who is balanced in playing pass and run then has a chance to be one on one with RT and there would be a one on one between the RG and the DE/DT It's a good way to get 4 to beat 5/6 and if you blitz it is a good way to eat up blockers.

I would still us to run the traditional 4 - 3 but I would just like us to have more versatility
